Gillis and Maxwell transfer from NKU

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Northern Kentucky University men's basketball head coach John Brannen announces the release of Brennan Gillis (Indianapolis, Ind./Ben Davis), who will pursue opportunities to finish his education while playing football, and Brandon Maxwell (Orlando, Fla./Daytona State CC).

"I'd like to thank both Brennan and Brandon for their contributions to NKU men's basketball," said Brannen. "I wish both of them nothing but the best in their future endeavors."

Gillis played in 64 games as a Norse, averaging 2.6 points and 1.7 rebounds. Maxwell averaged 1.4 points in 24 games played this year.

Does this free up 2 scholarships?

Could be more if what I hear has legs.
